Summer-Ready: How to Prep Your Propane System and Maximize Warm-Weather Benefits

Rebecca -

At Tankfarm, we know propane isn’t just for winter heat. From barbecues to poolside relaxation, it’s the fuel that powers summer fun. As the days get longer and temperatures rise, now’s the perfect time to ensure your propane system is ready to keep up.

Here’s how to prepare your propane setup for summer—and get the most out of every gallon.

1. Schedule a Pre-Summer System Check

Before the summer hustle begins, schedule a quick inspection of your propane tank and system. Check for:

  • Leaks or corrosion on the tank
  • Clear access to tank lids and valves
  • Proper appliance connections

2. Put Propane to Work Beyond the Grill

Grilling is just the beginning. Propane can also power:

  • Outdoor kitchens and pizza ovens
  • Pool and spa heaters
  • Fire pits and patio heaters
  • Backup generators for storm season

Extending your propane use means fewer fuels to manage—and more savings in the long run.

3. Check Your Supply 

Demand can spike during the summer. With real-time tank monitoring and automatic deliveries, Tankfarm customers can have peace of mind knowing that they’ll never run out. 

4. Make Energy Efficiency Upgrades

Summer is a great time to upgrade to high-efficiency propane appliances. Tankless water heaters, cooking appliances, and outdoor lighting powered by propane offer better performance with lower emissions and can boost your home’s value. 

5. Clean & Maintain Appliances

Keep your equipment running safely and efficiently by:

  • Cleaning burners and checking for clogs
  • Flushing out your water heater, if applicable
  • Ensuring all outdoor propane appliances are stored or appropriately covered when not in use

Propane isn’t just a cold-weather utility—it’s a year-round energy solution. With the right prep, your system can fuel a summer full of convenience, comfort, and good times.
